Editorial Reviews

Product Description
There's joyousness, righteousness, and undeniable enthusiasm that just oozes from this Oklahoma band's debut. With an almost total disregard for tradition, Evangelicals have an uninhibited approach to making music that sounds spawned not from scene or gaggle of influences, but a place that's otherworldly and totally of the moment. "So Gone" sometimes sounds like a happy accident of sounds and songs, a collision of melody and atonality, a battle between tunefulness and dissonance. Pop? Psychedelic? Glam? There's no easy answer to their sound, but this record is overly caffeinated, bursting at the seams, and demanding to be heard. Without the infestation of media or buzz of the music industry, "So Gone" brings us new sounds for a new day. Hallelujah.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great debut..., June 28, 2006

By	Patience Stevenson "charles xavier" (pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After reading about this on Pitchfork Media as a new music pick, I found them on myspace and downloaded two free tracks off of Pitchfork. I enjoyed what I heard, and purchased the album. I cannot really put this album into a category, but I suppose words I would use to describe the majority are jangly, and poppy. Track seven, Into The Woods, reminds me of something taken out of the Radiohead, Kid A realm. The album really serves to give something fresh to indie rock fans like myself, and is greatly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Good Kind Of Experimentation, June 29, 2006

By	P. B. Mitschell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There's not much to Evangelize. The record speaks for itself. With dreamy movement and a lush amniotic sound, it's artist's like the Evangelicals that give experimentation a good name and prove it doesn't all have to be dissonant antisound. Track six (which is 'My Headache' not 'My Heartache' by the way) is an other worldly sounding ballad... good music to forget reality to.

4.0 out of 5 stars well worth it, June 13, 2007

By	mark sachar "unstablegrounds" (nahant, ma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw these guys at a tiny hole in the wall in Boston last summer, I traded my t shirt (I hate my girlfriend) for the cd. The CD is outstanding, there's a lot of talk swimming, and it gives me that feeling. Very unique and original, but not in the artsy, nobody really understands it way. If I had to describe this album in one word it would be bipolar, listen and learn.
